Even More Songsmith
After a brief courtship phase with the promo video and David Lee Songsmith, Songsmith is finally being used to destroy the memories of your childhood and replace them with Picasso inspired chimera. You can blame the internet, again, for mixing the vocal tracks with very weird musical backing instruments on all sorts of songs from years past. Everything from the Beatles, to the Police, to Oasis has been broken.
I’ve added some YouTube videos in the rest of the post as exhibits A-D. More examples are available at TechCrunch and Gizmodo.
“Roxanne,” The Police
Barack Obama’s Acceptance Speech Remix
“Eye Of The Tiger,” Survivor
“Wonderwall,” Oasis
Here’s another great one using the world economic crisis charts to generate great somber tunes – http://fromthedeskofthemayor.blogspot.com/2009/02/world-crisis-charts-fed-into-microsoft.html
